What is recorded here

Bingrania hill in Gleann Cheo once held a stone bed belonging to Grania, according to local memory recorded in 1848. Herds trampled the marker flat, erasing the exact shape of her rest. The land keeps the name while losing the form, turning a royal bedroom into ordinary grass.

It is recorded in an OS Revision Name Book (1848-9) that the hill called Bingrania in this townland is so named because 'Grania had a bed here marked by stones, but it has been destroyed by the herds [and] no trace is now to be found of it'. There is no other information available about this feature. OS Revision Name Book, sheet 27 (1848-9), 27. The above description was published in the 'Survey of the Megalithic Tombs of Ireland.
